ATLANTA Constitutional
When / was a little boy, had a great
deal Of curiosity. There was kind good
hearted blacksmith who kept shop on
the street, and used to stop there and
look at him work, and If he was upsetting
an axle or laying plough, would watch
him as he heated and hammered, and heat
cd again, and then put borax on it and
hammered again, and at every chance ]
would ask: "W hatdid you do that for!u Fer
a while he humored me and explained
in simple way, but when he gos tired of
me, his reply was sure to be: ''Oh, did
that just TO please the children and he
would hammer away and hum iittle
tune, just as though wasn't there.
Well, he told the truth, though, perhaps,
he didn't realize it, for he had house fun
Of little chaps and all his hard work was
for them. That good old blacksmith was
next to the best man ever knew, and to
this day never think Of him but what ]
call 10 mind that expression: Just TO
please the children"-and every time !
hear the clank of q hammer on the anvil il
seems to me to be saying. Pleasing the
children, pleasing the children
Pleasing the children is about all that
the majority OF mankind are living for
though they don't realize it, and if they did
they would hardly acknowledge it. 1t is

sublunary life. Welook on with amazement
at the busy crowds in the towns and
cities that are ever going to and fro, and
the most of them are working and strug-
Cling to please and maintain children. It
Is the excuse for all the mad rush of BUSH
ness that hurries mankind through the
world 1t is the apology for nearly all the
stealing and cheating and lying in the
Land. One time man sold me Poland
China sow for fifteen dollars and she eat
up five dollars worth of chickens the day
got her, and when 1 asked him why lie
didn't tell me she was chicken eater, he
smiled and said he thought would Iiud it
out soon enough He spent that money on
his children, ana so had TO forgive him.
Sometimes when 1 ruminate upon the
meanness OF we grown-up folks, wish
that the children would never get grown.
Tor they don't get very mean or foolish
until they do.
Now the biggest part of all our Christ
mas business is 20 please the children. OF
course there is service in the churches.
and the good pious people celebrate the
/ day in prayer and devotion, but most OF it
I Is Tor the children The stores are
thronged with parents hurting something
Tor them The christmas trees are for
them and ali the dolls and wagons
and tea sets and pocket-knives
and harps and fre-craclze-s and a thou
sand other things too numerous to men,
ton So, my young friends, you must un-
derstand how very important you are in
this worlds affairs, but you need not get
uppity nor bigoty about il, for that spoils
al tho old folks pleasure.

CHAPTER TX.

The spruce-bushes parted suddenly;
but. instead of disclosing the form of a
fcrocious bear, nothing more forInida-
bic tlian the good-humored features of
Joe Whitney, adorned with an ex-
pressiye grin, was revealed. There
were traces of recent tears on his
frcckled face; yet mirth beamed from
his eye. and il was evident that the re-
cent punishment had not had very
depressing effect on his animal spirits.
Thought / was a bear, didn't you,
Tad?" he remarked, laughing. And
Tad, too much relieved mt the prospect
of companionship to feel very angry,
answered. with feeble smile. that he
t1as kind of startled, and made haste
to change the subject.
"Fve got seven trout. but they're aw-
full small" said Tad, producing his
catch, with rather disconsolate air.
Joe started, whistled and then
roarcd.
why. you goosier' he shouted, but
so good-naturedly that it was impos-
sible to be angry with him, "those
amt trout-they' chnbsr'
Poor Tad felt tremendously morti-
fed. but speedily forgot his mortifi-
cation in real honest admiration of a
string of trout-the largest of which
